I was messing around and I noticed that $(2^2\cdot3^3)^2 = 2^2\cdot 3^3\cdot 4^4$.
May sound strange but $108$ is a mystical number of ancient India, and was trying to deduce why, when I noticed it is $2^2\cdot 3^3$. So then I wondered what would happen if I multiplied that to $4$ to the $4^{\textrm{th}}$ power and discovered that it is $108^2$.
This got me thinking that maybe this is a universal formula that I just was not aware of... does $(a^2\cdot b^3)^2 = a^2\cdot b^3\cdot c^4$?
Pardon my ignorance, it has been many years since I've been in a math class.
Thanks.
UPDATE : my math was wrong, please disregard this question .. should of double-checked the calculation before posting
